WRITING & EMBODIMENT: WRITING WORKSHOP WITH JOOLS GILSON, 8 APRIL

Fri 8 April | 10am-4pm
Dance Limerick Space
€10 (students €5)

How might we write the grain of embodied experience? How do we document the ache of affect, the intuitive sense of where we’re going choreographically?

Jools Gilson, Associate Director of the MA in Creative Writing at UCC, leads this workshop exploring the relationship between body-based practices and writing, through a focus on choreography, experiment and somatic experience.

Practitioners from all disciplines welcome.
Please email jenny@dancelimerick.ie to book your place.
